TUESDAY, NOV. 0, ISSJ.

Tju appointment of Mr I'l Mitchel sun, the member for Marsden, to the poitfolio of Public Work.s has conic upon everybody .is a surprise. When people were speculating on the clruie.es of (he respective Auckland me nbers of getting the vacnt seat, Mr Mitchelson never seemed to li.ivc entered into (lie calculation. I[e is one ot the \oungest and most uiiohlrusi^ o members of the House; he has not acquired a reputation for talking, like certain members south of the West Coast ; he lias, indeed, been a remarkably silent member. But he is none tlie worso for that, if only he has devoted his time and opportunities to si close observation of the mod u^ opeiaudi of (.roverninent. Onlookeis see most of the game, and an interested onlooker like the member foy Marsden, at the end of two .sessions uill probably h.ive stored up a fund of knowledge suflieient to carry him through his ollicial life with credit io himself and advantage to the colony. En addition to this, Mr Mitchelsou has special qualifications for the post of Public Works Minister. A native (ue belie ,c'| of New Zealand, he has grown with the growth of our institutions and our commerce, and his knowledge of the colony"»c resources and wants im thorough and complete. By industry, business t'iet, and enlerpiise, he ha?, ascended from the lowest to the highest rung in the ladder, and si amis (he embodiment of Young New Zealand. IJis tiuinmy, while it has not tended to develop any latent talent for eloquence eminently fits him for the administration of what may be ti rnied the most practical department of the Government. "Yeai' by year by year the necessity for having a working Minister at the head of the "Works Department becomes stronger. At the inception of the. great Public Works scheme something more than mere technical knowledge was required ; railways not only had to be built, but choice had to be made of a multiplicity of routes, &nd claims for precedence had to be i closely examined. Those days are gone by ; the question of determining n route is now of less consequence than that of obtaining the money wfcr rewith to carry on the works. Pai&W/jent takes the planning part of the ibjjwness in hand, and if only a, Miniate* aq.n be got who will lay out the money jto the best advantage, having duo regard ) to economy and the convenience <of ; iiio public, nothing more is wanted. ' Such a Minister "is by no means easy to get, but we confidently believe we hay« secured such a one in the person of Mr Mitchelson. The newly -appointed Minister may have legislative talents^of ,a high, ord^r,

gifts of ad Ministration which his career loads us to assume ho pos-M'SS'-S. Thus far we have dealt only with Mr Mitchelson's fitness for his new oflice, I/Ut another and equally important question remains to hi: considered. Will the mow appointment s. million the Ministry in the Jfuse and the country? it is by no iiie.uivS an easy matter to find an aiibwci to tho query, but our own impression is that the new element m the Cabinet will not weaken its claims upon public support. The member for Marsden cannot have made many enemies during his term ; so far as wo know he has not attempted to grind any political aXes ; he is thoroughly independent, and is generally liked by his confieres. If, m addition, he discovers an aptitude for doing his own special work, his measure of popu larity will be full, and he will, as a natural consequence, greatly strengthen the hands of his colleagues.

Tub dyuiiinitc explosions on the underground mihvay in London arc only too c\ ldoutly the woik of some wionghc.idcd, <uid still more wiong-hearted disciple of the o' Donovan Rossa, the aieh-incondiary on the other .side of the 'Ulan tic. Rossa has been at no pains to disguise the murderous intentions of his heait — on the contrary, lie has lost no oppoi tuuity of telling the- English people that his prime object in lite is to blow the whole nation into smithereens. If this humane gentleman could only devise some moans tor hoisting the island of Gieat Britain, he would go down to his gwi\e with the calm consciousness of a man who had done his duty, and made .in imperishable name foi himself. But so inland a consummation as this is not to be hoped foi . JTCnaland is pretty secmely anchoied down, attei all, and will leijmiu something itioie than % Fenian fuse to limit her up. K\ en London ib l>y no means an easy place to binash, as the th.igiined djuaniitciuU .ue beginning to iind out. These peopli 1 took atu.Ushot at the (TO\oiuinent offices in Dow'iun»sticet, but beyond h.iutuiing a i|iiantity ot glass, bieaking some fiuniture, and putting the ft a i of death into tonic bunc ot by&tanders and otlieis near about, the attempt was a tegular fiasco, But men who could do this aie not going to stick at tiiflrs. If Downing street is too heavily weighted with red tape, the top of the M'jtiopolir.in Railway Company's tunnel might, they thought, tain out to be nioi c yielding in its nature. Why such a biillianl idea as that of blowing up the tunnel did not present itself to the mind ot the versatile Ro&si long ago is inexplicable. Ih'ie. suicly, undei the \eiy he.v b of the gie.it mctiopolis, a biilliant ionp mi«ht bo executed, which should at last stuke tt'iioi into the bieasb of John Dull. But licie again, tor some cause or other, non-siuci'ss attended tho eflbits ot the p.itiiots. In truth, ill luck seems to follow them c\eiyw lieie, and whether it be that I'lovidunce interposes some obstacle in their way, or whether their own clinch spii its tail them at the cinoial moment, their si hemes alway " g.ing at;ley." The loonening ot some brick and nioi tai, the destination ot a few railway carnages, and the maiming of a scoie oi two mien womeii and clnldien, cannot alibi d much giatilieation, e\en to men of the stamp ot ltossa, A\hile the cllcct pioduced on the English mind n\ ill not be in the dncction of softening the national dislike for li eland and tilings liish which has giown up of late. Thoughtful En»li-.li'iK>n know peifectly well that the nvi etched ooNvauls who go •iboutNvith txplosn ts under then arms aie no muie to bo identified \\ ith thepatnotic paity in Ii eland than Nvith the man in the moon ; tlicj know tli.it the tiue tnends ot tho (iiLon Is-le diead the name of dvnamiti' equally a\ ith timid Englishwomen, though lor a \ury difleituit icasou ; but the geneial, unthinking ma&s of tlie people cannot distinguish between tho Liisninau who .ngues, and the Irishman who springs mines. It is enough that both have tho same ultimate object in view. llenco, it this misciablo spuit of mm dor continues to walk abioad, we may expect to see liibh'nen subjected to a kind of niouil and social uei sedition, cruelly wiong, but yet justifiable in the eyes of the peisocutoif. This is what we ha\e all along feaied would come to pass, and though the wiser counsels of such men as Mr A. M. Sullivan have staved oil the evil day, it is, we fear, pretty clo.se at hand.

One of the most extraordinary cases of solf-i aspect, pluck, and fiatemal lovo (.says tlio New Zealand Times) which perhaps lui-. over boon leported in Colonial history has been bi ought nuclei' the nofci c of the Managing Committee of the Benevolent Society lately.
